If your billing information has changed, here’s what to keep in mind about what will show on your invoice:

Since invoices for the current month’s transactions are typically issued on the 5th business day of the next month, if you update your billing information in the current month, or before the 5th business day of the next month, your next invoice should reflect your updated billing information. Any changes you make after the 5th business day of the month, after your invoice for the past month’s transactions is already issued, will be reflected on the next month’s invoice.

For example, let’s say it’s currently May, and your billing information has changed. If you update your billing information in Google Ads before the 5th business day of June, your next invoice (issued on the 5th business day of June) should reflect this updated billing information. If, let’s say, you update your billing information on the 6th business day of June, the invoice that was already issued (on the fifth business day of June) will remain unchanged, but your next invoice (to be issued on the 5th business day of July) will reflect your updated billing information.

We’ve upgraded to a new billing system, which changed how billing information is shown. If past billing information is no longer available on this page, click View account activity from old billing system shown above the current transaction history table. You’ll go to a page where you can download all past billing summaries and invoices.

If you no longer have access to your billing summary and you’re prompted to re-enter your billing information but do not wish to do so, please contact us to obtain your past billing information.

The Google European headquarters is located in Dublin (Google Ireland Ltd.). So, Google advertisers with a European Union (EU) billing address are billed and served according to Google Ireland Ltd.

Instead, you qualify to self-assess your VAT at your EU member state's local rate, and a separate table of applicable VAT costs is included on the invoice. For invoices from January through April 2015, a VAT invoice was issued separately from the monthly payment invoice.

When you're setting up a Google Ads account, you'll need to choose one of the following tax statuses:

Personal

Individual entrepreneur

Business

The choice you make is permanent and can't be changed afterward. Google will provide accounting documents only if your account is set up either as an "Individual entrepreneur" or as a "Business".

If your account is set up with the “Personal” tax status, you’ll receive a single accounting document - a cash receipt - after each completed payment or refund. Electronic copies are automatically sent to the verified email address associated with your primary payments contact. To ensure timely delivery, make sure your contact information is up-to-date.

If you need to change or correct your tax status, contact us. Any changes won't affect previous transactions or accounting documents, and will only be effective starting from the date we make the change.

Accounting documents are provided for each Google Ads account. If you have more than one account, we'll provide separate set of documents for each of the accounts, even if all of them are connected to one or more My Client Center accounts.

If your document has an error, you'll need to correct your information in your account first and allow 24 hours for the system for synchronize. Then, request new documents from your account. Here's how:

Click the gear icon or the tools icon and choose Billing. Go there now

Other documents

If any other document has an error, contact us to request a corrected version.

Google doesn't provide scans of documents. However, you can download .pdf versions of documents under your Transaction history page. To get there, Click the gear icon or the tools icon and choose Billing. These documents won't be signed and stamped. This is because, for accounting and tax purposes, printouts of documents with a signature and stamp are equivalent to printouts of documents without a signature and stamp. However, hard copies you receive at your mailing address will be signed and stamped.

Note: This section doesn't apply to accounts using electronic document flow with a certified electronic signature. These accounts will be provided only with electronic documents which can be used for tax purposes. (For more information please see the next section below).

Documents containing information in electronic and digital form are called electronic (see article 3 chapter I FZ RF №1-FZ).

Electronic documents signed with a certified electronic signature are equivalent by law to paper originals if agreed by the parties (see FZ RF dated 10.01.2002 №1-FZ). It's not necessary to print them out and store them in paper archives. According to latest amendments to legislation, the entire document flow between companies may be changed over to electronic format.

Since May 23rd 2012, e-invoice is a full substitute to paper originals and may be submitted to the tax authority in e-form. The invoice interchange procedure is stated in Order of Minfin №50н and shall be done via an EDM supplier. Activities of EDM suppliers are governed by Order № ММВ-7-6/253@, and you can find the list of registered EDM suppliers on FNS website.

Benefits of electronic documents flow:

Fully comply with legal requirements.

Electronic documents take up no space. You can save on costs of printing documents out, manual processing, and maintaining paper archives.

Delivery of original documents takes just minutes. There's no need to wait for several days or weeks to receive the documents.

To be able to sign up for the electronic documents flow, you need to have an account with DiaDoc.rubefore you create your Google Ads account. DiaDoc.ru is a service of authorized EDM supplier SKB Kontur, the largest developer of web services for business in Russia. The company is experienced in cooperation with state authorities and ensuring legal validity of e-documents.

Follow these directions to register an account with DiaDoc.ru and obtain a certified electronic signature before you create your Google Ads account. Please note that Google will not be able to compensate you for the cost of the certificate.

Once you're registered, create a Google Ads account and check the appropriate box to enable the electronic documents flow.

Opting out

You can choose to begin receiving documents by mail at any time. However, keep in mind that documents from previous months can't be mailed to you. Also, once you opt out, you'll no longer receive documents by email.

It's possible to receive an invoice or Act of Acceptance with a sum of zero. This happens when a promotional code was applied to your account and all your costs during the reported period were covered by the amount of promotional credit. Once the promotional credit is used up, your invoice will start to reflect costs again.

In Russian tax regulations, the required properties of the invoice are specified in paragraph 5 of Article 169. Also, properties not specified in paragraphs 5 and 6 of Article 169 are not considered as valid reasons for not accepting an invoice from the seller.

According to Russian tax regulations, an invoice issued by Google with a shortened name of the seller is considered to be valid.

If you notice that the Reconciliation act doesn't include some transactions, those transactions were most likely made in another Google Ads account. For instance, the payment could have been made to another Google Ads account registered to your company or other company whose account you manage. This happens if you specified a Google bank account number belonging to another Google Ads account when making a payment.

Each Google Ads account has its own Google bank account number that needs to be specified when you make a bank transfer. If you think your transfer might have gone to the wrong account, check the account number you specified on your money transfer against the Google bank account number of your Google Ads account.

Here's how to check the Google bank account number for your Google Ads account on your pro forma invoice:

Click the gear icon or the tools icon and choose Billing & payments. Go there now

Click Transactions from the menu on the left.

Go to the last month you made a payment, and click the Documents link.

Click the Pro forma link.

Check the Google bank account number on the money transfer request.

If the numbers you see in the account and on your payment order don't match, it means transfer was made to another Google Ads account. If both accounts are registered to the same legal entity, you need to request the act of reconciliation for the account to which the transfer was made.

Accounting documents are provided for each Google Ads account. If you have more than one account, we'll provide separate set of documents for each of the accounts, even if all of them are connected to one or more My Client Center accounts.

While some billing documents are automatically provided to all eligible advertisers, others should be requested if needed. Below are details for each type of document we can provide:

If you’re using the new Google Ads experience, you won’t see a gear icon in your account. Instead, click the tools icon in the upper right corner. You'll find Billing & payments under the “Setup” header.

Click the gear icon or the tools icon and choose Billing & payments. Go to Billing

Click Transactions from the menu on the left.

Set the date range above the table so it corresponds to the invoices you want to see.

The default view is "Last 3 months," which lets you see your most recent debits, credits, and invoices.

To view previous invoices, adjust the date range using the drop-down. For example, choose This year if you want to view invoices for this calendar year.

In the table, click the Documents tab below the month you'd like to see the invoice for and select the PDF or the XML folder to download the invoice.

An invoice for a particular month is available starting on the third business day of the following month, together with a credit memo for the same amount. A separate invoice for each payment you make will be available 3 business days after the payment is processed. For example, your September invoice will be ready by October 3 and if you made a payment on Monday, September 5th, an invoice for the payment will be ready for download on September 8.

You might want to print a receipt of a charge that happened during the month. Since your statement won't get generated until the 3rd business day of the following month, you can print out a payment receipt for your records. Here's how:

There are a few reasons why you might not be able to find a certain invoice:

Local tax invoices and statements are generated monthly, while charges can occur throughout the month (for your records, you can print a receipt for each payment). A local tax invoice or statement for a particular month is available by the 5th business day of the following month. For example, your April local tax invoice or statement will be ready no later than May 5 (this assumes that May 1-5 doesn't include a weekend).

You might have forgotten to adjust the date range on the transaction history table. Be sure to set the date range above the table so it corresponds to the invoices you want to see.

Tip

If your billing information has changed, here’s what to keep in mind about what will show on your invoice:

Since invoices for the current month’s transactions are typically issued on the 5th business day of the next month, if you update your billing information in the current month, or before the 5th business day of the next month, your next invoice should reflect your updated billing information. Any changes you make after the 5th business day of the month, after your invoice for the past month’s transactions is already issued, will be reflected on the next month’s invoice.

For example, let’s say it’s currently May, and your billing information has changed. If you update your billing information in Google Ads before the 5th business day of June, your next invoice (issued on the 5th business day of June) should reflect this updated billing information. If, let’s say, you update your billing information on the 6th business day of June, the invoice that was already issued (on the fifth business day of June) will remain unchanged, but your next invoice (to be issued on the 5th business day of July) will reflect your updated billing information.

We’ve upgraded to a new billing system, which changed how billing information is shown. If past billing information is no longer available on this page, click View account activity from old billing system shown above the current transaction history table. You’ll go to a page where you can download all past billing summaries and invoices.

If you no longer have access to your billing summary and you’re prompted to re-enter your billing information but do not wish to do so, please contact us to obtain your past billing information.
